Conformity

The East Union Headquarters is a six-story old building with a yard in front that doubles as a parking lot. It looks a bit like an office building in the 70s.

The facilities in the old building are obsolete, and the lighting is not good. Colleagues are coaxing every year to move into a high-rise building to work, but Chang Yuan likes it very much.

He may be conservative in his bones and likes old things, except for Shao Bowen, of course.

On the east side of the office building, there are creepers on half of the wall, withered moss embedded in the cracks of the bricks, and the red paint on the wooden window frames is corroded. They do not have the straight or bright high-end feeling of modern buildings. They look much more gentle than the new generation buildings. The hard-edged and...dangerous.

Luo Kun, as the director, has countless people looking for him to sign or handle affairs every day.

As soon as Chang Yuan went up to the 5th floor, he heard the administrator say helplessly, "Our President Luo is really, not here... why did you go? Then I dare to ask, if you don't believe me, go to the office to find it yourself."

This shows that the office is a flag.

Chang Yuan made a quick decision and went downstairs to the guest room in the backyard. The leader was indeed here, shaking the recliner and listening to the play with his eyes closed and earphones on.This is his refuge. Whenever he doesn't want to see anyone, he will technically "not be in the office", which Chang Yuan can't learn.

Luo Kun is a middle-aged man with an elegant face. He looks like a professor when he doesn’t open his eyes or speak. He looks like a senior hooligan when he curses. After six years, I feel physically and mentally exhausted and struggling to move forward.

The door was open, as if waiting for him, Chang Yuan knocked on the glass a few times, Luo Kun opened his eyes, his eyes were focused and powerful, and he greeted with a smile: "Come, sit down."

Chang Yuan sat down across from him, and saw that he was making tea with his left hand that was holding the bracelet, while he was still playing with walnuts. Both of them had a thick layer of oil on the surface, and they were not cheap.

"You boy won't come to the company easily, but you want to come to see me suddenly. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall." Luo Kun held the kettle and poured it from the covered bowl. The boiling water rolled into the tea tray, and a thin layer of white mist floated up. "Say it, What are you looking for me for?"

Although he had made a lot of drafts before coming here, it was not easy to deny his past and only job. Chang Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, out of a sense of disappointment or failure, he cast his eyes on the toe of the shoe , He lowered his eyelids and said, "Director, I want to talk to you about work."

Luo Kun froze for a moment, and looked at him with scrutiny. This was the first time Chang Yuan came to him to talk about his industry and himself.

Chang Yuan lowered his head, did not see his complicated and flickering eyes, and compared his height on his own, saying: "Yesterday, the door of a bookstore in the city center fell down and crushed a little girl who was only this tall. Fracture, I wonder if you know about it?"

Luo Kun interjected: "I saw the push news. The person who wrote the manuscript was a layman at first glance. The cause of the accident was the poor quality of the door. He heard that he was talking nonsense. The investigation team must have not entered the venue yet. knew?"

"The reason is that the rigid support under the ground shaft was not done, the door sank, and the sky shaft came out of the frame."

"Damn it," Luo Kun said dumbfounded, "a building is already built, so how many dollars and how many hours will it cost to support a few doors? You idiot! I don't know what to say! Oh no, how do you know so clearly?"

"At that time," Chang Yuan touched the gauze on his left index finger, the wound suddenly hurt very violently, "I was right in front of that door, and watched it collapse so fast, the child didn't even make a sound It disappeared, and when we lifted the door, I thought... I thought she couldn't be saved."

"At that time, I was a little scared. Did the supervisor of the bookstore project not notice this partial acceptance? Or did he not pay attention to this little thing at all? When I got home, I kept thinking about these years, did I ignore it? The details that I didn’t take care of? Is there any material that I disagree with in my heart but let it pass? Will there be problems in the building I was in charge of one day?”

"Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became. I discussed it with my family members. He said that I was barely responsible, but I was not a good supervisor. So I was thinking that no one listened to what I said, and no one listened to the decisions I made. I don't think the project needs such an ineffective supervisor like me," Chang Yuan finally raised his head and said, "Director, I think... I should go."

There was no retention or consent, Luo Kun didn't speak, just stared at him seriously with squinted eyes, and there was a silence in the banquet hall.

Chang Yuan was uncomfortable being watched by him, so he secretly glanced at his watch, planning to break if there was still silence in another 5 minutes.

When the countdown was about one and a half minutes away, Luo Kun suddenly smiled. He was an old fox that Wang Yue hated.

Luo Kun said, "Chang Yuan, let me tell you what's on my mind today."

"When you came to the company, among the dozens of guys, I was the least optimistic about you. You were not talkative, isolated, overly cautious, and not smooth enough. You were all cunning and slippery in engineering. You will only suffer, I Bet Lao Cheng that you won't last a year."

Lao Cheng is the general manager of Donglian, with various titles. Chang Yuan rarely sees him, so he doesn't quite remember what he looks like.

"Later, the child I was optimistic about was job-hopping, job-hopping, and changing careers. It seemed that suddenly you were the only one left, and you were still the same. , but sometimes I feel that living in vain for a few years without retreating or advancing is also a kind of awesomeness."

"You young man is strange and quite strange. You don't mention salary, don't pick projects, and don't like to take vacations. It almost meets the conditions of a company's arbitrary exploitation of labor. Lao Cheng and I feel that picking one for nothing will do a lot more. Those who eat less have never thought of giving you a raise."

Chang Yuan: ...

He began to feel that the words in his heart were a bit ugly.

"Don't think that your boss is immoral. You don't have any opinion. Why does he spend more money? You have to fight for what you want. Otherwise, everyone is so busy that no one will notice whether you have raised your salary. It's too hardworking. Bosses like people, but this kind of people usually don't have any opinions and can't handle things, do you know what I mean?"

Chang Yuan couldn't refute it, especially since today was only one night since yesterday, it was not easy for him to forget many scenes.

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Luo Kun continued with relief: "I'm getting old, and my health can't take it anymore. I want to retire every day, and I can't bear my current salary. It's almost two years of nonsense. A good person is too expensive. Lao Cheng said If I can’t find a successor, I won’t be allowed to leave. I just want to train myself. You were originally the most disappointing one in the list I submitted. But when I saw you today, I think you can be ranked second to last.”

Chang Yuan is a very useful "beater", but he is not a suitable successor. He lacks the courage to tear his face, and he has not found something that makes him firmly believe that "I have the final say on this matter". Luo Kun feels that his His attention has not been on his job, and he has been absent-minded all day long, but this experience should be regarded as a good thing for him. Knowing fear, he also knows that those things must not be compromised.

The front foot just said to leave, and the back foot became a reserve. This burden was so heavy that he didn't know what to say for a while. It was difficult to advance in the workplace. He was grateful to the leader for his promotion, but the position of director could not tempt him. He followed Shao Bowen is different, he doesn't have any pursuits, he just needs to remember things and have a clear conscience.

Chang Yuan shook his head and said, "Thank you Director, I may have failed your expectations. Because I really don't know how to refuse all kinds of unreasonable demands from the owners, especially when they threaten me with 'termination of the contract'." At that time, I can't cause the company to breach the contract, and I can't let my conscience feel uneasy, please understand."

Luo Kun thought that once you know it, you will be invincible, but this strategy varies from person to person. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but that you are not the same person as me. You can’t learn my way, and you won’t think about it. study.

High-ranking leaders would not directly reject the decision, so Luo Kun took a step back and said, "Don't be so embarrassing, it takes time to resign, so let's do this, you have the beginning and the end, and follow the second phase of P19 for me, otherwise I also need to arrange for people to re-acquaint themselves with people and things. It’s too much trouble. You don’t need to sign any embarrassing things during the period. "

Chang Yuan knew that this was a tactic to delay the attack, but he was silent for a long time, and finally agreed. Firstly, he was not a character who would leave at a pickle, and secondly, Shao Bowen was on P19, and He Yicheng always targeted him. It's hard to be reassured.

From the standpoint of Luo Kun's thinking, he felt that this moment, that moment, minor accidents and major accidents, Chang Yuan would one day practice without changing his face.

-

Because the conversation took less time than expected and it was still early, Chang Yuan decided to go to the amusement park to pick up Shao's father and son.

The playground was colorful and full of laughter and laughter. Standing in the shade of a tree, Chang Yuan looked at the map on the back of the ticket. He suddenly felt better in this place where the trash cans looked like small castles.

Suddenly something bumped into his eyes, and Chang Yuan was taken aback. Before he could recover, the thing was stuck to his ears. His eyes dimmed, and when he looked up, he saw Shao Bowen with a tiger on his neck. A pair of exaggerated cartoon glasses, I think they are on the bridge of my nose.

"Who do you want to scare to death?" Chang Yuan took it off and took a look, and found that it was a pair of crab glasses. It was cute with teeth and claws, but it probably wasn't suitable for him.

Shao Bowen also took off his Q version of Simba, "Why is it so scary? I'm teasing you."

Chang Yuan gave him a →_→ look.

Shao Bowen was so hot that he lifted Huzi down and said to him: "Handsome guy, what else do you want to play, we invite you."

Huzi was holding a newly bought water gun, squinting his eyes and aiming everywhere. He was temporarily deaf, and ecstasy dubbed the sound to sprinkle water on the ground, trying to draw an egg, "biubiubiubiu~"

Shao Bowen gave Chang Yuan a look of "Don't bird me", carried one in one hand and the other in the other, and went to the small round table in front of the ice cream shop. Chang Yuan's decision was within his expectation.

Chang Yuan took a sip of water, feeling that he was too uneasy, "Am I a little, too unsteady?"

"Not firm in an hour?" Shao Bowen had an expression of "good boy, don't make trouble", "I left Rongjing at that time, and it took half a year from the time I had the idea to the time I actually left. What is that called, capricious? No It's worth giving up, it's not worth turning around and leaving, you have to know one thing, it's not because he's good at persuading you that you didn't leave, but because you still don't want to leave in your heart, don't think about slandering my wife all day long."

Chang Yuan smiled with bags under his eyes, which piled up on his face for a while, and then were covered by crab glasses, "For your sake, I'll think about it."

The three of them started to wander around the field. Huzi wanted to play with one or the other, but he didn't dare, so the group spent a long time fishing for plastic fish and shrimp in the air cushion pool, and then went to paint white pottery.

Chang Yuan used to be a painter between classes, and he painted patterns in the blanks of the books. This skill is still in his bones, and the coloring is fast. Hu Zi marveled beside him with a look of admiration, and there were almost no stars in his eyes. spinning.

Before Chang Yuan came, Shao Bowen had already taken Hu Zi to sweep the balloon booth once. The boss refused when he saw him and refused to do this man's business. The three had no choice but to go fishing again. Only Hu Zi enjoyed it while losing his memory. Not that.

On the way, Chang Yuan suddenly received a call from his father, Chang Zhongshan, asking if he was back?Chang Yuan avoided answering, and asked him if he was okay. Chang Zhongshan said that Chi Mei missed him, and told him to go home and let his mother take a look when he came back.

Chang Yuan said yes, but he didn't plan to go back immediately, so he thought he was selfish and evasive, and didn't want to break the current peaceful life.

He deliberately didn't remember this at night, but he was a little absent-minded for several days in a row, obviously missing his parents. Shao Bowen lived with him for a while, and slowly discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Chang Yuan's memory is at least several times better than his, but he doesn't seem to be aware of it at all.
